If you go by the Callis/Mayo board at MLB.com though they are getting good value so it's hard to complain. That being said, some balance would be a nice thing too.


I'd look for them to take some questionable signability guys in the first few rounds after 10. That way they don't have to subtract from draft pool if they decide they want to give some extra cash to the guy. It worked with Keys but not Jax or Martarano last year

One (admittedly unfalsifiable) way to view it would be possible new impact of analytics dept stats guys. Roob already stated he looked at Fausto because of advanced states rec (big ERA - xFIP gap last year). It seems like the A's of the world are all about college guys in draft with good K/BB for hitters (Sacto State guy fits this, though not Pepperdine guy)

the other way to look at it is they're getting advanced players because they need help at the major league level ASAP to save their jobs.

I think that was a definite consideration with Nola

I prefer to think of it as 1) they know they're all dead men walking, employment-wise, and are trying to leave something nice/safe for the next crew; and/or 2) they realize that their instructional staff in the minors are fucking *terrible,* and are taking players closer to finished products.

Interesting that the prep sites list him as 6'5" but MLB says 6'7". Growth spurt
